Chapter 608: Chapter 346: Invitation and First Collision
Being within the perspective of a memory, Chen Sheng shouldn’t be noticed by the characters in the image.
However,
for Chen Sheng, this wasn’t the first time.
Even before watching the memory, Chen Sheng had already guessed that the Heavenly Beings’ King would probably have a backup plan.
Therefore,
when the Heavenly Beings’ King accurately called out his name,
Chen Sheng wasn’t surprised at all, he simply looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.
“It’s just like you.”
Seeing Chen Sheng so calm,
the Heavenly Beings’ King laughed even more happily.
Indeed,
he and Chen Sheng did not meet for the first time.
In fact,
the connection between them extends much further than what Chen Sheng knows.
Over tens of thousands of years,
The First Generation Heavenly People battled with the World Core constantly.
As the strongest existence among the Heavenly Beings, he time and again stole the Power of the World’s Origin which originally belonged to the World Consciousness.
Perhaps sensing that if this continued, it would end up losing.
During the most recent Tide Rising Period, the World Consciousness invested all of its remaining Origin Power into the Real World.
At first,
The Heavenly Beings’ King did not notice.
But in the next confrontation, noticing the weakening of the World Consciousness’s strength, he realized something was wrong.
He, who also possessed the Origin Power, quickly found Chen Sheng’s trace using his own methods.
One could say,
The Heavenly Beings’ King watched Chen Sheng step by step until today.
He was well aware of Chen Sheng’s strength.
For Homo sapiens and other Heavenly Beings, he was indeed powerful.
Perhaps given some more time, he could surpass him.
What a pity,
As far as present circumstances are concerned,
Chen Sheng still came up a little short for him.
“I have come to invite you.”
The Heavenly Beings’ King spoke again,
Still wearing a smile on his face.
“Invite me?”
Against the Heavenly Beings’ King, Chen Sheng furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
His heart was fully alert.
His strength was rapidly mobilizing.
“To where?”
Although it was a question,
Actually,
Chen Sheng already had a guess in his heart.
“Of course, to where I am.”
The Heavenly Beings’ King slightly moved aside, as if a master welcoming a guest, signaling Chen Sheng to look around.
“The World Core.”
As expected,
The Heavenly Beings’ King’s answer solidified Chen Sheng’s guess.
So the voice from before in his dreams warned him not to approach the World Core, was it hoping that he could avoid a fight with the Heavenly Beings’ King?
So,
What is the identity of that voice?
What is its relation with the Heavenly Beings’ King?
In spite of all these doubts rising in his heart,
Chen Sheng still managed to keep his countenance.
“Any matters?”
Facing the so-called “invitation” from Heavenly Beings’ King,
He didn’t refuse outright, but attempted to gain more information from him.
How strong the Heavenly Beings’ King is, is still unclear.
Only that terrifying aura surrounding him gave Chen Sheng a strong intuition.
He was not weaker than him, only stronger.
The Supreme Demon wanted Chen Sheng, so the Heavenly Beings had to act on its behalf.
And Chen Sheng, didn’t want threats hovering over his head too.
Sooner or later,
There must be a battle between the two.
This conversation with the Heavenly Beings’ King was a perfect opportunity to gather information.
“Hehe.”
Perhaps it was because he had been in the World Core for too long.
Whether bumping into the Third-generation Heavenly People of his own kind or facing Chen Sheng who was an enemy,
The Heavenly Beings’ King hid none of his desire to talk.
Just like now.
He raised his head, gazing into the distance.
His expression became serious.
His crimson pupils trembled slightly.
Nondescript emotions welled up within.
Fear, reverence,
And… desire.
Just like a mere mortal gazing upon gods.
“Of course there is a matter.”
When he spoke again, even his voice had a hint of inexplicable devotion.
“If I remember correctly, you should have already seen that Supreme Existence in Chi’s memories.”
“And you know that it took an interest in you.”
“As Subordinates, isn’t it fitting for us to fulfill its demands?”
Upon saying that,
The Heavenly Beings’ King paused for a moment.
As the emotions in his eyes gradually dissipated,
he looked down at Chen Sheng.
A fierce light flickered in his eyes,
As if scrutinizing his prey.
“For me personally,”
“You, Chen Sheng,”
“Are the last piece of the puzzle required for me to control all of the Origin Power.”
“Once I wrest the Origin Power from you, I can recreate the World Consciousness, fulfilling its demands.”
“So….”
The Heavenly Beings’ King extended his palm towards Chen Sheng.
Boom —
With his words falling,
The image of the memory….
No,
It wasn’t the image of the memory.
Chen Sheng’s eyes narrowed.
Realizing something was wrong, he immediately disconnected his consciousness from the memory image.
As his perspective plunged rapidly.
The real world.
Chen Sheng’s eyes snapped open.
As expected,
This time,
What shook wasn’t the image of the memory.
But the underwater cave in which he was.
The stalactites above him broke apart and crashed onto the ground.
The containers which originally held those twenty-one Heavenly Beings’ skulls exploded one after another.
The scarlet light flowing out of the noses and mouths of these beings like liquid caused them to let out chilling wails.
But at this moment,
Neither Chen Sheng nor Li Wuji had the spare mental capacity to pay them any attention.
Because right in front of Chen Sheng.
The scarlet light that flowed out from the Heavenly Beings’ skulls converged in the air.
The light and image began to distort.
The space was forcibly pried open.
The gate to another world subsequently opened.
On the other side of the gate was the dilapidated Bronze Hall.
And the tall and robust figure.
A brawny arm extended through the gate, extending an invitation to Chen Sheng.
The air around the arm twisted to the extreme, the strength disseminating all around.
It seemed like its mere existence was already putting a great burden on Heaven and Earth.
